are your wages keeping up with inflation or is it getting harder to make it?

I have to be more creative than ever in my spending. I do not spent cash is some instances, I spend my time on line so I can earn giftcards and prizes in addition to cash as well. As the economy becomes more stressed, I find I am spending more time on line in order to keep up. I have ventured into several multi-level marketing businesses in order to recop residual income when I make a purchase (from my own business). I shop with coupons nearly everytime I shop. I am refunding again. I am making the best out of difficult times. It is less painful if I think about it as a savings game where I win every time I save money. Yes difficult times call for creative solutions to make ends meet and I am glad to be apart of Mylot because I get so much support on this site. I would not give up posting here for all the tea in China.

To be honest, NO!!!!! it ain't. For one, you gotta go to work and that costs gas. When I fill up my car, the gas lasts four days. I remember when I got my license in 2006, my brother filled up my tank, and it lasted for over ten days until I got paid again. So with both jobs, uhh uhh.

No, they are not. But that does not seem to matter. They just let the prices keep rising.

Luckily, this january my husband and I both got a raise. It helps a little bit, but I do agree. The prices of everything are going up and up! It is rediculous the amount of money I need just for groceries anymore~ and by the end of the week, we are scrimping and looking in the freezer for the next meal! I'd love to have one day where I could go shopping with unlimited funds. I'd stock up my cupboards and freezer, buy new spring clothes for me and my kids and not have a worry in the world.
